Natursutten Natural Rubber Pacifier

Natursutten Pacifiers (meaning "Natural
Pacifier" in Danish) are made from pure, natural rubber from the Hevea
Brasiliensis tree. They do not contain chemical softeners: no parabens,
PVC, phthalates, or BPA bisphenol-A). Just pure, natural rubber!

Natural
rubber contains a protein that can occasionally lead
to a latex allergy. This protein has been removed from Natursutten
Pacifiers
during production.

PACIFIERS CANNOT BE RETURNED.

Sizing

Care & Content

Clean after each use with warm water and mild liquid soap. Never wash in the dishwasher.

Store pacifier in a dry, clean container away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Pacifier will darken over time with everyday use; this is perfectly natural and expected.

How to prepare for first use

Before first use, sterilize for 5 minutes in boiling water, then allow to cool. Prior to sterilizing, you may notice a "rubbery" smell and oily coating. This is perfectly natural, due to a film of oil from the rubber tree that preserves the pacifier while packaged and will disappear with sterilizing.

NOTE: If pacifier nipple stick together when pressed or if pacifier feels sticky overall, replace with a new one. It is recommended that Natursutten Pacifiers be replaced every 6 to 8 weeks.

About Zoe B Organic

I am a "green" mom, not an eco-evangelist but a mom who thinks we
need to take care of our planet for the sake of our children. I believe
parents deserve options that are both safer for their children and
healthier for our planet. In fact, I think that’s pretty much the only
option. As a mother of three young children, I’ve been frustrated by the
lack of "eco-friendly" options out there for babies and kids. Reading
books like Cradle to Cradle and watching films like Food, Inc., I’ve
become more passionate than ever about providing moms with smarter, more
sustainable choices.

So what’s next? Right now we’re very excited about a new line of
biodegradable beach toys, which we will introduce in 2011.

Miscellaneous

It’s perfectly natural for the rubber to have a white tinge to it after
sterilizing. Rubber will return to its natural color in a few days.

What’s
up with the rubbery smell?

Before sterilizing, Natursuten has a distinct “rubber” smell, due to a
film of oil from the rubber tree that preserves the pacifier while
packaged. While it will mostly disappear with sterilizing, your pacifier
may continue to have a distinctive, natural rubber scent. Studies show
that this actually allows your baby to distinguish the smell of his/her
pacifier and be comforted by it.

Why is the shield so big?
Should it be touching my baby’s nose?

Yes, Natursutten’s shield is noticeably larger. It’s designed to touch
your baby’s nose in order to more closely simulate breastfeeding. And
yes, your child will look like Maggie Simpson while sucking on it.

Why
has my baby’s Natursutten turned dark brown? Is this okay?

Natursutten will turn darker brown over time, due to the fact that no
chemicals are added to prevent oxidation, as with other pacifiers. This
is perfectly natural and to be expected.

Does it really need
to be replaced every 6 – 8 weeks?

In order to meet European safety standards (EN-1400), we’re required to
recommend replacing the pacifier every 6 – 8 weeks on the packaging.
However, moms have told us that Natursutten often lasts longer. Like
your toothbrush, it all depends on frequency of usage—not time. Replace
your Natursutten if the nipple sticks together when pressed or the
pacifier starts to feel sticky overall.

Why pay more for
natural rubber than silicone?

Natural rubber is softer and “squishier”, and therefore more like the
real thing. Silicone is—how shall we put it?—harder.

Wow, it
bounces, doesn’t it?

Because it’s natural rubber, Natursutten is bouncy when dropped. We
recommend a pacifier clip.

My baby is using the pacifier as a
teether. Is this okay?

Natursutten is the only pacifier with a thick, rubber shield that
doubles as a great teether. So let your baby teethe away.
